Se7en Title Sequence - Codes and Conventions
The Se7en title sequence shows both codes and conventions of a thriller/horror film.
This is the title sequence:
It shows many different conventions for example: there is low key lighting to produce a mystery effect, that we cannot see the full picture. We aren't shown the person's face, this creates anticipation and can be seen as an enigma code as we begin to wonder who this person is and why is he doing what he is doing. The man is shaving of his fingers, this could be a symbolic code as he is trying to erase his fingerprints this can be tied to criminals we can now see him as doing something wrong.
Most of the titles themselves are in messy handwriting this is a technical code as it is relating the titles to the man's handwriting making it seem like the man has written the titles as well. The sound's are non-diegetic, you can hear a faint scream making this more eerie. And in the final part of the title sequence you can hear someone say 'I want to be closer to god' this can be seen as a enigma and verbal code, what he says can be interpreted as possible suicide or doing the work of God but both are still uncertain as it is to early in the film.
I think this film opening very nicely portrays some of the codes and conventions of a thriller genre film; verbally, technically and symbolically. It has a very nice touch to it with the messy handwriting and the highlighted words all to show something to the viewer.
